<i>"Caps Countdown" is our Vancouver Whitecaps player rankings with a twist. The starting eleven is ranked from eleven to one, from worst to first. Who was the 'man of the match' and who, if anyone, had a game to forget in the 2-1 win over Houston Dynamo? Aaron Campbell makes his selections. Do you agree?</i>
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
11 - Gershon Koffie
Showed a lot of rust in most of his time on the pitch. Looked very uncomfortable in his marking and possession with the ball. Calmed down as the game went on.
10 - Steven Beitashour
Steven "Ghost" Beitashour he shall be dubbed. Has been very quiet this season on the pitch. That's not always a bad thing. Hope he gets more involved with the offense moving forward.
9 - Jordan Harvey
He has sure found a liking for scoring goals the past 14 months. Still leaving way too much space when forwards are attacking towards him. Him being out of position led to Dynamo goal. Will need to improve his defending.
8 - Matias Laba
Looked more comfy being the only DM on the field in the 4-4-2 diamond formation. Probably his most quiet game this season.
7 - Jay DeMerit
Looked fresh out there after being "rested" against the New England Revolution. Controlled his half of the defensive box okay.
6 - Darren Mattocks
Continues to do a lot right. His hustle led to the Miller PK goal. He looks like he is getting more and more frustrated with his lack of goals. A lot of Barry Robson hands up in the air after very miss or save by opposing keepers from him.
5 - Kenny Miller
Hope they can afford him after he has become a internet sensation with his HUMBA viral video with the Curva Collective. If he keeps his play up it might be hard to let him go at the end of June.
4 - Russell Teibert
Is growing into a solid player that helps out his defenders when needed. They don't need him to be an assist machine like he was last season, but it would be nice. Needs to keep being solid in his position on the pitch.
3 - Andy O'Brien
Has been the best defender this season by far. Great header (hard to not be great with that forehead) on the Harvey goal. Hope he can stay healthy all season.
2 - David Ousted
Improving every game this season. Had no chance on the goal with the horrible marking by Beitashour. Lots of great touches with his moving helping getting the offensive push moving forward.
1 - Pedro Morales
Camilo who? Davide who? Is a magician on the pitch with the ball. Defences are going to have to learn you can't give him all the space he is getting. Amazing pass after amazing pass.

3 - Nico Mezquida
Hard to get involved and make a difference when you get on the pitch in the 87th minute.
2 - Kekuta Manneh
Looks good as a super sub. The question is when does he start up front for Mattocks? Has to be coming soon.
1 - Seba Fernandez
Came on for Mattocks and kept the attack moving forward. Might be hard to start him in the diamond formation with Teibert, Manneh and Mattocks filling in nicely.
